My Personal Advocacy Journey

A quote that I find Inspirational regarding the role that advocacy can have in the lives of the young Children and their families are “Always unique, totally interesting, sometimes Mysterious”

What inspires me about my advocacy plan is the fact that’ parent Involvement’ not only affect the way the child behaves in the classroom but Also the relationship between the parents and the teachers. My advocating plan inspires me  to continue working very hard in my classroom with the parents for the benefit or their children’s. Is very inspiring to know how good the relationship with parents and students is and by knowing that the children’s behavior would be better, their work will be turned in. It excites me putting my advocacy plan into effect because I know that once I put these steps into action I will be helping families and will gain relationships with children.  My relationship with parents, children, and the community as a whole will increase and gain bringing everyone together in a nice and important cause.

 What challenges and/or anxieties do you feel related to engaging in the advocacy efforts you have targeted?

What I believe will be the most effective in helping me overcome any challenging emotions that I might feel with regard to presenting and implementing my Advocacy Action Plan is to talk to coworkers  and to get Ideas of what they do in their classrooms to involve their parents in their classroom ,  another way is by asking my director for some ideas on different activities( fund  raisers, field  trips, cooking activities). Also, taking it slow when starting to implement my plan, I shouldn’t try to balance more than I can handle because in the end I will become more stressed.

I can encourage others in their advocacy efforts by helping them with information about their topic or any experiences that I might have.

 Others can encourage me by giving me pointers on what I can do to improve my advocacy efforts or what I could do to make it more appealing and effective for  the audience I will present this too.  Also, we can share resources about the topics that we are advocating.
